We are back again. This episode is a little shorter, as there is less introductions and what not. Hope you enjoy. Next session will be November 10th, so expect the next episode to be uploaded a little after that.

Continuing the adventure, the party bumbled through the depths of the Underdark. Sam had a magical vision of darkness and laughing, all the while she glowed faintly. Having faced off against a pack of Gnolls (in which Goyo introduced a Gnoll very personally to his fist, yelling "Welcome to Flavourtown!" Maude ended up covered in "Flavourtown.") and running low on supplies, the group reached an underground sea known as Darklake. Travelling along the lake, a school of humanoid-fish creatures ambushed them, but were dispatched of with ease. Afterwards, the group meets another fish-man who offers food and passage across the lake in turn for a job. He points us in the direction of a Drow outpost, Drow city, Deepdwarf city. With this information, Jalil can determine how to get to his hometown of Blingdenstone.

That job is to pose as prisoners to a cult that gives blood sacrifices to some "Deepfather," and kill their leader: the fish-man's daughter. We now had our berrings, and, with passage across the lake, we could make our way to the Deepgnome town of Blingdenstone.

Unfortunately, the ceremony goes sour: after the leader of the cult has been dispossed, the ground starts shaking. Out of the water rises a Kraken who begins grabbing the denizens of the town with giant tentacles and gobbling them up. Turns out the fish-cult was worshipping something a bit more present than a god. Our employer had vanished and we no longer had an opportunity to steal a boat, so it was back to the tunnels for us.

That's it for this week. We are still bumbling around in the dark. Admittedly, we haven't had a lot of opportunities to explore the story or the world to much, but there were a few instances where our DM weaved in a little bit of a few characters' stories. Hopefully we see more of that coming up: I love seeing how the characters interact and evolve when their own plots develop!

Edit: I meant to post this a couple days ago but I forgot to hit post. Oops!

Alright, so our first meeting of our new campaign is this Saturday. Before that first summary, I’d like to give you my character background. So here it goes: Meet Goyo “Cookpot” Firehovel.

Eager to see the world, Goyo left home as early as he could and traveled to the dwarven lands. There he worked in various inns and taverns, learning the cook’s trade. Eventually, he worked his way into an upscale tavern where many dwarven nobles (where some wealth comes from questionable origins) congregated. 

In an unfortunate series of events, a powerful dwarven noble was the target of a poisoning attempt. Framed for the assassination plot, Goyo was kidnapped, beaten, and left to be hunted by the bands of kobolds that lurked in the woods outside the city.

When a sect of Dragon-worshiping kobolds captured Goyo, he managed to strike a deal: offering his cooking services for his life. And so Goyo spent many months with the group, where he adopted the name “Cookpot” in order to keep a low profile in case allies of the noble are looking for him. In his time, Goyo learned their tongue, and was enthralled by tales of the silver dragon they worshiped.

After dedicating himself to their patron, the kobolds released him from his servitude. Now, Cookpot is searching the land for the den of the dragon, and for exotic recipes to fill a cookbook for a dragon-sized feast.
